Key Takeaways:
The Shenzhen-listed electric low-speed vehicle maker is preparing a Hong Kong debut that could raise about $250 million, with CITIC Securities mandated as sole sponsor, IFR reported, citing unnamed sources. A launch could come as early as this month.
The dual-listing push arrives as the company, a global provider of outdoor leisure and electric mobility solutions, holds the top position in the electric low-speed vehicle sector. Frost & Sullivan data shows TAOTAO ranked first globally in the industry by revenue last year, capturing roughly 10.9 percent market share.
The company's financial momentum supports the fundraising effort. Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 jumped 65.7 percent year over year to RMB1.059 billion, while net profit more than doubled to RMB176 million. Offer price, cornerstone investors, and a use-of-proceeds breakdown have not yet been disclosed.
The planned deal arrives as Hong Kong's IPO pipeline builds. Goldman Sachs noted the exchange is seeing strong average daily turnover momentum, with the application queue potentially reaching a record high. TAOTAO's A-shares traded down 1.494 percent at the latest quote.
A successful listing would give the electric low-speed vehicle leader a second listing venue and fresh capital to fund expansion. Investors will watch for the official filing and pricing details, expected to surface before month-end if the timeline holds.
